A perplexing mathematical puz-

A perplexing mathematical puz-
zle is going the rounds of the press
that may serve to tax the ingenuity
of school boys, or even children of
larger growth. 1t is thus stated: A
freight train one mile in length stop
ped at a station, with the caboose
just opposite the depot. The con-
ductor got orders to move his train
to the next station, which was five
miles distant. He gave the engineer
the signal to move, which he did,
while the conductor walked over
to the engine and got there just as
the locomotive reached the station,
where he got off. The question is,
how far did he walk, or how far did
he ride, or did he ride at all?

Brick Pomeroy, in a plea for free
postage for all newspapers, says of
the local newspapers: "What the
millions of stars are to the earth on
a clear night, local newspapers are to
the world at large. They add to
the light that man needs, and help
all they shine upon. What the dew
and gentle rain is to fruit, flowers,
grain and grasses, the country press
is to all that is of growth, enterprise
and improvement of men, manners
habits, and betterment of town and
country. As lights the signal for
the retirement of bats, owls, bed bugs
and cock reaches to their hiding
places, SO is the pioneer country
newspaper the disturber Of those
who incite and commit acts of vio-
lence and disregard for public dec
ency, so they are ever forced to move
on"

The Grinding of the Ice.

"Thc submarine forest off our port, "
said man from Keno3ha, Wis, lis
being broken up by the grinding of the
ice. This forest extends about mile
and a half into the lake. The grain and
bark of the trees are entirely dissimilar
from anything found in the forests of the
present day, thus showing almost con-
clusively that the buried forest was swal-
lowed up by the sea ages and ages ago.
Fishermen who cast their nets near these
leafless and petritied trees often bring
up whole branches and twigs, and once
in great while a heavy sea washes a
gnarled trunk ashore. There are scien-
tific men who hold that the sunken
forest proves that the earth has been pay
ing tribute to the lake over since the
birth of time. The vast amount of ice
in the lake this winter has had the effect
of demolishing many of the trees, por-
tons of which have been cast upon the
anchor ice during the severe easterly
gales. Chicago Herald.

Two pairs Of sparrowS were watched
by an Obscrvant naturalist feeding their
young in their nests in only one half hour
with the larvae Of the bluebottle fly from
a dead cat. They fetched these il all 1O4
times, and one Of the birds also caught IA
flies ON the wing. Now, the common
house fly is computed to produce in ono
season, soprolitic is the progeny after pro-
geny. no less than 20900. 900, say, in
round numbers, 2f,000, 900, end thus
were prevented by these two pairs of
birds no fewer than ESQ, 900, 900 by the
capture of II flies and $500, 900, GOO by
the destruction of the 104 larvae. Again,
there figured in the parish accounts of
one parish in Gloucestcrshire a charge for
Il dozen Of $50 called tomtits' heads: in
another parish, Melbourne, III Derbyshire,
a sparrow club destroyed in one year
4,5,1 small birds, and in yet another 81
800. Take tho smaller Of these two last
numbers, and multiply it by the number
of flies just calculated as prevented by
the two pairs of sparows. and it gives
what we may very well call a grand total
of ESQ, 600. 600. 600. London Times.

\ curious story comes from the Old
Colony railroad. Negotiations have for
some time been in progress for the alb
sorption of the Nantasket Beach railroad
by the Old Colony, but they came to a
sudden halt last fall. Now it appears
that Miss Sally Jones of Hull has claim
for land damages against the Nantasket
Beach company, which she declines to
settle because of fear of contracting some
contagious disease which might be i'm
parted to her through the passage of
papers and documents. This is mono
mania with Miss Jones to such an extent
that she will not receive any documents
from any person whomsoever, save
through the medium of pair of tongs,
and when received the papers are at once
disinfected with aromatic vinegar. Miss
Jones always keeps in her house pair
of tame skunks, by means of which ami
mails she thoroughly fumigates her hone
after visit from any strangers. 1t is
this strange monomania of Miss Jones
which prevents the consummation of the
deal between the two railway companies.

Arc the Times Degenerate?

When one reads of defaulting treasur-
ers and cashiers, he is likely to refer to
the degcncracy of the times in morals, in
honesty and trustworhnes5. But are
they degenerate? Are the moral instincts
less keen than they were of old? 1t will be
safe to deny it. You cannot tell what the
morals of Il man are until he is tempted.
In the olden time industries were so
poorly developed that it was necessary to
repose trusts in others only in a very linn
tied degree, and hence the defaulters
were few. The people of the present day
endure the test of temptation, 10 doubt,
more creditably than the ancestors Of
past centuries would have done.-Good

Gen. Sheridanes Plan.

Gen. Sheridan has proposed a striking
and ingenious plan of harbor defense,
based upon his experience in fighting In
dams years ago. He found srmken pits
held by riflemen better than forts, which
formed clearly visible mark for the
enemy. He therefore proposes series of
submerged pits III the sea, with guns that
can he raised or lowered at pleasure,
never rising above the surface Of the
water so far as to afford good mark for
an advancing fleet. Such works would
be better defended against hostile fire by
the surrounding water itself than any
visible fort can he by steel or other casing.
The idea is worth consideration, as it APP
pears to offer maximum of defensive
force with a minimum Of cost.-New

Rev. Edward Everett Hale's prediction
OF the increasing popularity of the signed
editorial and the decreasing power of the
anonymous one is justified by all the
journalistic signs of the times. Even
those papers that still rigidly adhere to
anonymous editorial utterances are adj
hitting signed articles to their other col
umns in constantly increasing numbers.
That shows that they recognize and feel
that they must needs bow TO the growing
popular taste for identified writing Mr..

WASHINGTON, April I3.-H you have
ever visited the National Capital the
house was, no doubt, pointed cut 30 you
as one of the sights. From the east por-
tiCo Of he Capitol one has gOOd view
of the place through the trees in the pork.
1t Is hardly likely thst You went over, but
probably the guide stood on the Capitol
porticO and eXpatiated at some length or
the historical associations Of the old
building. l don't know whether or not
that he meDuOued the fact that the man
sion was now the residence of Justice
Field. Possibly not, for guides rarely
learn anything. l verify believe that
those about the Capitol use the same old
formula a. did their predecessors of fifty
years ago.
The building, or, more properly speak
ing, the series of buildings, was originally
built for the accommodation of Congress,
after the English srmy had burned the
Capitol in 1914. 1t took fifteen years to
rebuild the Capitol, and during the inter
val the sessions were held here.

ern languages of the east, and he re-
NAMED nearly three years at Ath-
ems and Smyrna prosecuting these
studies. He returned In the winter OF
1928, and in the following autumn en- =
tered Williams college, from which he
graduated in 1897. He studied law in
New York city, entered into copartner-
snip with his brother, David Dudley, the
distinguished jurist. The connection
was maintained until the spring of 1913,
when he again visited Europe and spent
nearly g year in travelling. On his return
ia the fall Of I84J, the excitement
caused by the discovery of gold in
California was at It's climax, and
Mr.. Field decided to seek new sphere
of operation in the ''Land of Gold" Upon
his arrival in California he proceeded to
Marysville and was elected the first
alcalde of the growing city. Although
the jurisdiction of alcaldes courts, under
the Mexican law, was limited and in
ferior, yet in the disorganized state of
society at that time in California unlImi-
ted juri. diction, both in civil and crimi-
nal cases, was claimed and exercised by
them. In exercising these laws Justice
Field had many g stirring adventure.
He was sent to the Legislature in 1880
and introduced and succeeded in getting
passed the several laws governing the
judiciary and regulating the civil and
criminal procedure in all the courts OF
the state. Seven gears after this he was
elected justice Of the Supreme court of
Californis for six years. A vacancy Oc-
curing previous to the commencement
of his term he was appointed to fill

it. The law relative to- She titles TO
real estate in California was placed
on a solid basis while he was on the bench
and principally by decisions in which he
delivered the opinions of the court. In
September, I859,Ihe became Chief Justice
of the state, and in 1865 President Lin
coin appointed him Associate Justice of
the United States Supreme court. These
in brief are the principal events of his
varied and stirring life. Those who are
acquainted with the days of '49 IN Cali
fornia we'll know how stirring they were,
while we who do not will never know.
Personally Justice Field is one of the
most charming of men. His travels
have been so extensive, his experience so
great, his reading so comprehensive and
his Judgment Of human nature so acute
that he talks most intellgently and
agreeably on all subjects. His figure is
tall, though trife stopped, and
his head is unusually large and
bald on the forehead. He does not look
above tifty-tive years of age, though the
records say he is over seventy. He wears
spectacles constantly, and his beard is
worn full and rather long. His health
is almost perfect, and he can 60 through
a season Of dinners with the best of
them. He rises with the Lirds in the
morning, takes cold bath, has cup of
tea and couple of eggs and often by 6
is at his desk. At 11:3J he is in
terrupted by a servant when he
leaves his desk, takes a rapid walk
around the square and at u is in court.
Here he remains until the adjournment at
O'Clock, when he goes h"ne, takes g
cracker and bit of meat and rides his
horse for an hour or two at IN easy pace.
His political experience as candidate for
the presidency does not sem to either
please or annoy him. He says it was
merely an episode in his Hfe and will
soon be forgotten. He likes ais position,
and Is devoted to the Philosophy and
practice of law.
